Is having 4 horizontal stabilizers better than 2?

711 Mysweetbologna  5.5 years ago

I was messing around with my new plane and put another set of horizontal stabilizers in front of the primary wing, just ahead of the cockpit and then set the pitch input to reverse. I tried the plane and it seems like the pitch speed increased.

The general problem with this is that it may provide too much lift, but the purpose of the 2 extra stabilizers are to increase pitch speed and by doing so also increases maneuverability. I only tested this with one plane, so the shape of the craft may have different results.

If anyone can confirm or deny this, more information would be helpful.

(Also, this is another post requesting if someone can XML mod some parts for me I’d appreciate the help: https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/961321/another-gun-mod-request-and-a-panel-sorry )
